+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - int fd
+
+ - File descriptor returned by a previous call to open().
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - int request
+
+ - Equals :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND` for this
+ command.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - struct dvb_frontend_parameters \*p
+
+ - Points to parameters for tuning operation.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl call starts a tuning operation using specified parameters.
+The result of this call will be successful if the parameters were valid
+and the tuning could be initiated. The result of the tuning operation in
+itself, however, will arrive asynchronously as an event (see
+documentation for :ref:`FE_GET_EVENT` and
+FrontendEvent.) If a new :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND`
+operation is initiated before the previous one was completed, the
+previous operation will be aborted in favor of the new one. This command
+requires read/write access to the device.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

+
